The application extends the commitment of
realtor.com® to offer a comprehensive mobile tool that
allows consumers to efficiently search for houses and apartments
for rent. The application provides a photo-centric list view, which
enables users to see high-quality property images directly from the
search results page. Users can draw a custom search to look at
homes for rent in a particular area or leverage the area scout
feature to view new listings on a map based on their geographic
location. The application also allows users to filter results that
meet their individual needs, such as parking, in-unit laundry and
properties that are pet-friendly.
Users can also receive notifications when new homes or
apartments for rent that fit their specifications are available on
realtor.com®. Renters can additionally use the
application to upload photos and take notes while visiting
properties and share listings of interest through SMS, e-mail or
AirDrop with other iOS users.
The realtor.com® rentals application delivers fresh,
accurate and up-to-date listings as a result of the relationships
